With just one sentence, the situation between me and Sanzang is obvious. Hearing this, Sanzang got up and looked around, turned his head to stare at my expression, "The forest surrounding us shouldn't be the weird forest in the mouths of those people in Shangyuanmen, right?" ”

I sat on the ground and pulled the dead branches on the fire, turned out the bacon in my bag and stuck it on the branches, and put it on the fire to heat it, and I hadn't eaten anything hot for too long. Hearing Sanzang's question, he looked up at him and nodded, "It should be true, I don't know what other strange things are in here besides the legendary Bi Fang, maybe I ran into another group of monkeys." Seeing that it was about to fall at night today, with our current physical condition, we didn't dare to go into the woods at all. The waterfall is still quite empty here, so I can only make do here tonight, rest for a while, and then go into the forest tomorrow to find a way down the mountain. Let's sit down and have a bite to eat! ”

Sanzang sat down, but his head was still turning around to look around, quite a bit of a grass and trees, even the fatigue that had surged up before was all suppressed, his eyes were wide open, and he held bread in his hand and stuffed it into his mouth mechanically, it seems that the group of brutal monkeys he met in the broken temple left a shadow on him is really big.

Stretched out his hand and handed the hot skewer of bacon under Sanzang's nose, "Eat, don't be so nervous, don't be so nervous, don't use anything at that time, but you will bring yourself down!" Don't worry, both of us can survive in that dungeon, I think our lives shouldn't be so short to hang here! ”

Sanzang let out a long exhale, and his back relaxed. He took the bacon skewer I handed over, put it under his nose and sniffed it, "It's so fragrant!" "Put it in your mouth and swallow it in one bite. While chewing on the pieces of meat, he muttered indistinctly: "Brother Shuzi, I'm fine." I just ran out of the tunnel, and the tense line in my heart suddenly loosened, and I found myself in another dangerous place, and I couldn't debug it for a while, but now it's all right! You're right. Be careful tonight, tomorrow we'll find our way down the mountain, isn't it just such a small forest! When I get back to the inn, I have to get a good night's sleep. If you go out to eat again, you must make up for all the things I have left down these days! ”

After saying that, he reached out and took the other skewers I had baked, and I slapped them on the back of my hand. "You have to eat it and bake it yourself. You don't have any less stuff in your bag than mine! ”

After being beaten, Sanzang retracted his thief claws and rubbed them, squinting at me, "It's so stingy!" "The moment before I stretched out my hand to greet his head, I quickly shifted my position, turned over the bacon and sausage I was carrying, put on the branch and flipped it over the fire, and did it in one go. That's called a flowing water!

When I ate the heated food, I had an appetite. After eating a full stomach, the sky had completely darkened. According to the old rules of the two of us, Sanzang fell asleep with his back against a large rock. And I sat by the fire and kept vigil.

Without the dense foliage of ancient trees, you can see the night sky when you look up. The white crescent moon pours a soft and cold light on the earth, and the stars are bright or dark on the thin carpet of the dark blue velvet night sky.

Due to air pollution and other reasons, it is now difficult to see stars in the night sky in the urban area, let alone see such a primitive and beautiful starry sky as in front of you!

I sat cross-legged on the ground, looking up at the sky, counting the stars I could name, discerning directions, and imagining that above the distant unknown stars, perhaps there was another person like me, sitting in the forest, looking up at the night sky!

The falling waterfall flows day and night, and the "roar" does not subside at night. But if you try to block out the sound of the waterfall falling water, you will find that there is a deathly silence all around, and only the occasional "crackling" sound of flames on the fire in front of you occasionally breaks the silence. There are no insects, birds, and the whispered roars of nocturnal beasts. I know that this kind of dead silence is very abnormal, and I can only raise my vigilance, lest a person who is negligent and sneak up on a creature like a monkey.

As a result, my nerves were tense, and I didn't have anything unusual until Sanzang woke up in the middle of the night to change the guard with me, lying on the ground and closing my eyes.

The morning sun beat above my eyelids, my brow furrowed, and then my eyes opened a slit. The first thing that catches the eye is the fire in front of him, perhaps it is more appropriate to call it ashes now, the fire that burned very vigorously last night has been extinguished, only in the ashes there are still a few scattered red lights flashing and extinguishing, it is estimated that it will not be long before it will be completely darkened.

Got up from the ground, rubbed his eyes, patted the dust on his clothes, where did Sanzang go? Before the feeling of shock could rise from the bottom of my heart, it fell with a "bang". Turning his head slightly, he saw Sanzang squatting by the lake, stretching out his hand to scoop the lake water and rubbing his face.

It seems that the night was safe and sound, and I am really lucky! Walked over to the lake, stood still beside Sanzang, squatted down and scooped up a handful of water to wash his face, and suddenly sobered up a lot.

When he heard the sound of footsteps behind him, Sanzang had already turned his head, saw that it was me who turned his head again, stood up after cleaning himself, and stood up after washing my face, and then asked: "Brother Shuzi, let's go now?" ”

"Wait!" I took out the compass from my bag, tried it in the palm of my hand, and put it back with a regretful face, but it still didn't work, due to the influence of a special magnetic field, the compass couldn't be positioned at all, which means that after entering the forest, there was no way to determine the direction!

"Still can't be used?" Sanzang leaned his head over, glanced at the frantically rotating pointer on the compass, and asked.

"Hmm!" Remembering the direction I could tell from the stars last night, I looked there and suddenly patted my forehead, "That's right! We can follow this river, why run into the woods and try our way! If you're lucky, if you have a safe journey, you might be able to make your way down today! ”

Sanzang looked in the direction of my finger, also a little excited. "That's right! If you get lost in the forest, following the river is the best way to do it! No matter how weird this forest is, at least it won't change! We are so lucky that when we come out of the underground palace, we can guard such a river, and we don't have to worry about the direction! (To be continued.) )
